Because Democrats politicize everything, it’s very likely that the current government shutdown could last into 2019, according to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Mick Mulvaney, who is also the incoming Acting White House chief of staff.

In an interview with “Fox News Sunday,” Mulvaney said that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who will likely reclaim the Speaker’s gavel in a few weeks, is intentionally stalling efforts to negotiate and resolve the partial shutdown, which began at midnight Saturday and affects one-quarter of the federal workforce.

Mulvaney also insisted that POTUS Donald Trump “refuses to go along to get along” and is not coming off his demands for $5 billion in border security funding that would include construction of a portion of his long-sought wall.

“It’s very possible this shutdown will go beyond the 28th and into the new Congress,” Mulvaney said, adding that federal workers will receive their pay through that date.

“I think there’s an implication here for Nancy Pelosi’s election for the speakership,” Mulvaney continued. “I think she’s now in that unfortunate position of being beholden to her Left wing, to where she cannot be seen as agreeing with the president on anything until after she’s Speaker.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced Saturday that the upper chamber would reconvene on Dec. 27. Both Democratic and Republican sources told Fox News that the shutdown could be prolonged, though the network did not give a time estimate.

Mulvaney used an of a so-called “steel slat barrier” fencing that POTUS Trump tweeted on Friday as a potential compromise point during negotiations. The president said such a barrier would be “totally effective while at the same time beautiful.”

“That’s what we want to build,” Mulvaney said, referring to the picture in Trump’s tweet. “In the Democrats’ mind, that is not a wall. So they have offered us $1.3 billion to build the barrier that we want — but then they go on TV and say there’s no money for the wall. We’ve already told the Democrats we want to build what the president tweeted out. It doesn’t have to be a 30-foot tall concrete [wall].”

The incoming chief of staff also noted that a few weeks ago Democrats were offering $1.6 billion in wall funding, but that has since been lowered to $1.3 billion. He indicated that Democrats are “moving in the wrong direction,” likely to placate Pelosi.

“This is what Washington looks like when you have a president who refuses to go along to get along,” Mulvaney told host Chris Wallace.

The House on Friday passed a budget bill that contains $5.7 billion in funding specifically for the wall. It failed in the Senate, however, which led to the shutdown.

The shutdown might last until the new year, but when it ends, it will be on Pres. Trump’s terms, not Chucky’s.

Thirty days after the new year when 800,000 federal workers who have put their Christmas spending on their credit cards, and we’re anticipating their December paychecks and bonuses, start feeling the pinch of Nancy and Chucky’s political stunt start pounding on their doors; things will change

The ilk Nasty Pelosi, Chuck U. Schumer and the rest of the slimy DemocRATs are a worse threat to this country than anything else. They will sacrifice the security of Americans in order to be in power. Holding power is all that matters to them, and thank God that piece of slime lying, cheating, crooked, vile, vicious old hag Hillary lost.

I hope the shut down lasts until 2020, that final year being real at least. Meanwhile, someone tell the President to have Hillary, Comey, Mueller and Rosenstien arrested and charged.

Use the military to build the wall and don’t stop until it’s completed. Dismantle sanctuary cities and states and don’t be afraid to use the military, if defunding doesn’t work. Use martial law, if necessary. Direct civil insurrection demands strong executive action. Grow your base and get reelected with 60+%. Go ahead. Let them impeach and let the people observe the whole spectacle.
